Although I had enjoyed working over the last few years, I knew that it was time to start working in a new way . I started working as a freelancer so that I could create digital content and websites in more freedom and fully in alignment with my passion.
In 2017 I came back home to the Netherlands and soon enough after that I decided to move to Amsterdam to pursue my new career there. This time truly with passion and enthusiasm, in the industry of video content creation. I worked at Talpa Network on entertaining YouTube content and then at fashion label JOSH V. But in 2022 I felt it was time for a new step.
I decided to take a more drastic route. I quit my job and apartment in order to go traveling for indefinite period, so that I could fully focus on developing filmmaking skills and to build a portfolio. I felt very strongly that this was the direction I needed to go. I traveled around Asia as a digital nomad for one year and three months, learning practically and autodidactic about filming and editing every single day. But then in the middle of the beautiful Asian nature.
I had a comfortable childhood and school-time. And in 2013 I graduated with a Bachelor's degree that, through my minor E-business, led me into the world of online marketing. After working at a small online marketing
agency for about two years, it started to gnaw. This wasn't it. I wanted to do something more creative. Preferably something with depth and impact. Video, I liked that. And I knew it was going to become big in the future. But I had no skills or experience in that field of work. Was I going to do another four-year eduction? Absolutely not.
